Well we're in our temporary new music room and it's working out really well. I'm missing my 2's and 3's but the time will quickly pass and then I will have them back with me.
Grades 4-6 have now begun their units on two musical art forms: opera and ballet. 4A, 4B and 5Y are learning about the ballet "The Nutcracker" composed by Tchaikovsky. The opera "Hansel and Gretel " by Humperdinck is being studied by5A, 5B, 5C and 6Y and another opera "Amahl and the Night Visitors" composed by Menotti is for 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D. Beautiful music and wonderful stories.
Funny note: we had to have a discussion that this was "opera" we were talking about-- not " Oprah" :)
It has been wonderful to see my kindergarten and grade one classes come to me as single classes instead of double classes. We are having so much fun!!!!!
